By Henry Neufeld I’m not sure what happened, but on this blog and two others all comments were suddenly closed. The only common element between the three blogs was one plug-in, and I’m checking to see what may have happened. If anyone tried to comment but was unable to do so, it’s not because I have altered [...]
By Henry Neufeld Consider these situations:
A Sunday School class for young adults is growing by leaps and bounds. Many young men and women who are not members of the church are showing up just for the class. The church leadership shuts the class down because it is not using denominationally approved curriculum. A speaker who is [...]
By Henry Neufeld I am not proposing answers at this point, because I haven’t had time to study the situation in any detail, but it seems to me the right time to point out some problems with the questions.
It appears to me that almost everything I read about the situation with Georgia, Russia, and Ossetia involves [...]
By Henry Neufeld No, not an extra in a movie, Amateur Radio Extra class license.
This post should fall under the category of “personal” and “bragging”, but yesterday evening I took and passed the text for my Amateur Extra class license.
What does this let me do? Well, pretty much nothing that I couldn’t do already, and [...]
By Henry Neufeld I had thought about writing something on this, but I think this post says most of what I would say, only better.
Especially considering that there has been no marital infidelity reported, and folks have been upfront in with this, it doesn’t seem to me to provide any new basis to judge Bentley’s ministry. [...]
By Henry Neufeld Well, it seems to be my day for linking, which is not surprising. (For those who wonder why I’ve been blogging less, though I think I’m still blogging quite a lot, it’s because I have to file a form 990EZ for a non-profit with which I’m involved. It is really not that complex, but [...]
By Henry Neufeld When I wrote much earlier about Jeremiah Wright, I tried just a little bit to put it in context of the African American church as I’ve experienced it. That effort was weakened by the fact that I’ve never attended TUCC, and thus anyone could say I was reflecting a very different experience based on those black churches I have attended. I spent my teen years in Guyana, South America, and was the only white person in my youth group, but was TUCC similar?
Well, John Hobbins of the Ancient Hebrew Poetry blog has attended there, and he manages to say many of the things I felt, but for which I never found the right words.
I strongly commend his posts Unity Day at Barack Obama’s Church of Origin: What the MSM will never tell you and Unity Day at Trinity UCC in Chicago.
(Update: John has now added another post.)
I have a high regard for Dr. John Hobbins based on reading his blog regularly, and I strongly commend both of these articles to you to read and consider.
By Henry Neufeld I’ve noticed in recent discussions both online and offline that there seems to be some fuzziness about the difference between these two concepts. I think that perhaps our human tendency is to either excuse or condemn.
By “excusing” I mean either minimizing a transgression or perhaps even claiming it’s not a transgression at all. [...]
By Henry Neufeld Every so often Christine’s photos and/or Haiku are so good that I just have to call your attention to them. Stairways is great.
By Henry Neufeld I have posted before on the sex scandals involving Larry Craig and David Vitter. Now with the admission of infidelity by John Edwards, we have yet another sex scandal.
One response, as is often the case with marital infidelity, is to claim that this is strictly a personal issue, one between him and his [...]
